Our cars: Audi A2 - July

At first glance, the A2’s boot may look small, but the tiny Audi has a secret. The deep storage well under the boot floor isn’t immediately obvious, but it’s proving surprisingly handy. Big enough to swallow the spare wheel with ease, there’s enough extra room to hide maps, ice scrapers and all the other flotsam that collects in a car’s boot. It keeps everything tidy and stops items rattling around while driving.Matt.Sanger@whatcar.com

It’s early days with the Audi A2, and I’m still getting to grips with the idiosyncrasies of a seven-year-old car. However, one thing that’s impressed from the start is the air-conditioning system. I can’t stand small cars that struggle to keep you cool on a hot summer’s day, but the tiny A2 feels like it has a large car’s system installed. It only takes a minute to chill the cabin, even if the car’s been sitting in the sun for hours. Matt.Sanger@whatcar.com
